# 12.4 Integrated rate laws  (Page 5/7)

 Page 5 / 7

The half-life of a reaction is the time required to decrease the amount of a given reactant by one-half. The half-life of a zero-order reaction decreases as the initial concentration of the reactant in the reaction decreases. The half-life of a first-order reaction is independent of concentration, and the half-life of a second-order reaction decreases as the concentration increases.

## Key equations

• integrated rate law for zero-order reactions: $\left[A\right]=\text{−}kt+{\left[A\right]}_{0},$ ${t}_{1\text{/}2}=\phantom{\rule{0.1em}{0ex}}\frac{{\left[A\right]}_{0}}{2k}$
• integrated rate law for first-order reactions: $\text{ln}\left[A\right]=\text{−}kt+\text{ln}{\left[A\right]}_{0},\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{}{t}_{1\text{/}2}=\phantom{\rule{0.1em}{0ex}}\frac{0.693}{k}$
• integrated rate law for second-order reactions: $\frac{1}{\left[A\right]}\phantom{\rule{0.1em}{0ex}}=kt+\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\frac{1}{{\left[A\right]}_{0}},$ ${t}_{1\text{/}2}=\phantom{\rule{0.1em}{0ex}}\frac{1}{{\left[A\right]}_{0}k}$

Some bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic penicillin because they produce penicillinase, an enzyme with a molecular weight of 3 $×$ 10 4 g/mol that converts penicillin into inactive molecules. Although the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be complex, at low concentrations this reaction can be described by a rate equation that is first order in the catalyst (penicillinase) and that also involves the concentration of penicillin. From the following data: 1.0 L of a solution containing 0.15 µg (0.15 $×$ 10 −6 g) of penicillinase, determine the order of the reaction with respect to penicillin and the value of the rate constant.

How to mix chemical
why the elements of group 7 are called Noble gases
they aren't. group 8 is the noble gasses. they are snobs that don't mix with others like nobles, they have full valence shells so they don't form bonds with other elements easily. nobles don't mingle with the common folk...
Jessica
the group 7elements are not the noble gases . according to modern periodic group 18 are called noble gases elements because their valence shell are completely field so that they can't gain or loss electron so they are not able to involve in any chemical reaction.
Leena
Group 7 element they are not noble gases they halogen and halogen mean salt formers

I don't use to see the messages
Hhhhhh
SIRAJO
how can you determine the electronegativity of a compound or in molecules
when u move from left to right in a periodic table the negativity increases
reeza
Are you trying to say that the elctronegativity increases down the group and decreases across the period?
Ohanaka
yes and also increases across the period
reeza
for instance when you look at one group of elements in a periodic table electronegativity decreases when you go across the table electronegativity increases. hydrogen is more electronegative than sodium, potassium of that group. oxygen is more electronegative than carbon.
reeza
i hope we all know that organic compounds have carbon as their back bone
OK,Thank you so much for the answer. I am happy now
can I ask you a question now

yes
